Answer:

(A) 2 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the ladder forms a 72º angle with the ground and rests against the house at a spot that is 6 meters high.

Let the measure of bottom of the ladder from the wall be x, then using the trigonometry, we have

\frac{CB}{AB}=tan72^{\circ}

\frac{6}{x}=tan72^{\circ}

\frac{6}{x}=3.077

x=\frac{6}{3.077}

x=1.94

x≈2m

Thus, option A is correct.

Then u need to use tanФ=perpendicular/base
tan72°=6/x
3.077=6/x
x=1.949
x=2 m approx

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).
Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. <em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformations applied on a <em>geometric</em> locus such that <em>Euclidean</em> distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of <em>rigid</em> transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

A wallet is originally $11.00. With a 40% discount, what is the sales price? Show your work.
NeX [460]

Answer:

$6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to find out what 40% of the original price is ($11)

100% = 11

10%= 1.1

to get 40% you times it by 4

40%= 4.4

you then have to take away the sale reduction from the original

11- 4.4 =$6.6
